4 Bear Among the Bees.

The Hutchinson brothers have a
large apiary up at Victor TeJung, Cal.
1t is an insulated place, far from real
estate booms and the haunts of men.
But it is a good place for bees, and
there, as a rule, they toll umolested ex-
cept by their owners, the Hutchinson
boys, The country is rugged but ro-
mantle. The quiet life of the little
rural retreat was turned into greatest
eXcitment the other night. While the
Hutchipsons were asleep and dreaming
| of the great sums of money they
| would make this season, a stranger
entered the camp. He was not slow il
makig his presence felt and heard
The sleepers were suddenly awakened
by sounds that suggested a snail cy-
clone ranging amocg the stands of the
the bees. One of the men got up, looked
out of the window, and what was his
CONSERVATION and terror TO see the faint
outlines OF huge, brown cOlOred mon
ster upsetting the beehives and working
destruction with property that took
months and years to accumulate. The
surprised spectator hastened to his
brothers bedside and told what was 60
ing on at the apiary. The two rushed
out. one taking his rifle. The bear Wss
evidently hungry, for he had made saw
age lunges at the boxes filed with deli
cious honey.-He would take a few
mouthfuls out Of one frame, and 60 for
another stand. The Hutchinson boys
concluded that if they did not act on the
instant the bear would soon leave them
without an occupation. The gun was
leveled and discharged. The ball found
its way through the thick hide of bruin,
IDENTIFY almost center shot. for the
animal fell. But he remained on the
ground but second. He arose enraged
with pain, and made frantic lunges at
the nearest hives. Meanwhile the men
advanced a little. The bear caught
sight OF them and made rush at them.
When within 20 feet of where they
stood his progress was arrested by an
ether leaden messenger. 1t struck
vital part, and once more the huge bear
fell. This time he did not get up. A
third ball was put into his side, which
caused his death. Upon examination it
was found TO be a grizzly cub about two
thirds grown. Next day he was dressed
and weighed. The scales tipped at 700
pounds. This is the second or third
bear ever killed or seen in that section

IN a recent lecture. Prof. William

IN a recent lecture, Prof. William
Turner OF Edinburgh University, gave
the speed of the Greenland whale as
nine Or ten miles an hour, and that OF
the great fnner whale as probably
twelve miles. One of the latter animals
was stranded on the British coast some
years ago, and was found to have a
length of eighty feet, weight of seven
ty-four tons, and a width of tail of
eighteen to twenty feet. With these
data, the builder of the Anchor line
steamships, calculated that, in order to
attain speed or twelve miles an hour,

five horsepower.

AT Indianapolis, Indiana, SONS time
ago, a firm received a consignment Of
eggs packed in boxes after tho usual
manner. The eggs were placed IN
storage, and one morning the consignee
had occasion to open the case. When
the lid was removed the low call Of
chicks sounded in his ears. One entire
layer OF eggs was found TO De hatChius
out, and in a few minutes after the eggs
were brought to the light, fifteen well
developed " orphans" picked their way
through the shells. y AnOther layer OF
eggs began to hatch the next day, and
it now looks as though the entire cOn-
signment will hatch.

How a Lawyer Refused the Request Of 1
Prospective Client.

The relations between counsel and

fifty years ago, that he was sIWsys

while client was stating a case. Il,
however, the client dropped the retsil-

FROM ELLSWORTH.
A Lady found Drowned in a Cistern-A
Strange Freak of Nature.

ELLSWORTH, Jan. 81.
Mrs. Lemuel ID. Jordan OF Ellsworth COM
mitted suicide Monday forenoon by drown
ing. Her husband left home about 10 o'clock
to buy something for dinner On his return
he found his wife drowned in the cistern in
the cellar, with flatiron tied about her neck
She had been in poor health and somew hat
respondent for some time, but no one had the
least suspicion that she contemplated suicide.
She and her husband were excellent citizens
and highly respected by all. Her age was
about Is years.
Curious phenomenas are reported from
Blue Hill. On Monday of last week as Reu-
ben Gray was crossing Third Pond, which is
something more than mile long and mile
wide, he heard loud rumblinH,whch seemed
to approach him from the mine, which is To-
Gated near the southern end of the pond and
about mile and fourth from Mr.. Gray's
position thereon. Suddenly, the ice under
his feet rose three or four feet and then sub
sided, continuing to rise in a sort of tidal
wave. which rolled rapidly along until it
reached the head of the pond, when suddenly
there rose out of the water sheet of water
which fell some distance from the opening.
Mr.. Gray examined this sheet and then re-
turned home and reported the facts to his
neghbors. K. E. Chase, who was Blue
Hills representative to the legislature in
1885, went and examined the pond and found
everything just Gray had stated. Chase
says the ice blown out of the pond was trian-
gular in form, seven feet long, fourteen
inches thick and would weigh, he thinks, ten
tons. This Law right side up with the base
toward the base of the opening. the distance
between the two bases being 20 feet. Though
the water where the ice was blown out was
four and half feet deep, mud was found on
the ice, showing that the disturbance took
lace at the bottom of the pond. Mr.. Chase
examined the track of the disturbance and
toun the ice cracked and broken its entire
length.
